-Nice bro! That's probably the same height that I am planning for. My road to work aren't the best. Diggin' that color also, what wheels do you have?

- Big difference. I like how the 20s brings out the true length of the GS. So I am sold on getting either 19s or 20s now. What tire specs are you running with the 20s?

- It's effin' DOPE! If we all could do that bro.

UPDATE 03/24/14

So as I stated in the beginning of the thread, there were scratches and rock chips all over the front bumper. It bother me so much that I had to get it done. Also, the body shop noticed that the door had dings on it, which I later noticed. (I'm pretty sure it was my damn neighbors car) So I dropped the car off last Tuesday and today the shop sent me some pictures.

Shop Name: Sunset Autobody in Signal Hill, CA
Price: $800
Parts Painted: Hood, Fenders, 2 Front Doors, Front Lip, Front/Rear Bumper
Perks: Lifetime Warranty





Also, the manager threw in the perk of buffing the rest of the car for me. Which was an from me. So far, great service and honest. Just waiting to see the quality of the outcome.

That's a really good price for all of that to get done. I need to do the same. Looking forward to the progress. I have 20x9/10 mc3 croix. Similar to vip modular vrs05

Finally got my car back yesterday, and she shines like a beauty! Really happy with the outcome and recommend anybody local to go to them. Great customer service and was accurate with the time frame. Fair pricing, and I even get to take the car back next week for detailing. May I mention also, that he is going to paint my front lip when it comes in.

No runs or drips. The color blend is on point.

That price is almost unbelievable. I'd get my whole car sprayed if it was that reasonable. My paint has seen some wreck less wash jobs in its day(by previous owner).

Car looks good.

I would go 20" wheels for sure!! I have the same color as you! Here are some photo's of mine for visual reference. Some day, I'd like to sell these and get Vossen CV5's...

The wheels are 20x7.5 front and rear. I bought this car 5 weeks ago, I would say your build isn't that slow since all I've done is window tint so far!! Oh, I did get LED city lights in the mail today, but I haven't put them on yet.. I think I'm going to do the Megan Street Race LP coilovers, I just don't know when I'll have the funds for that, have to save money on the side so my wife doesn't find out.. LOL

My dude. That price is unreal. I'm actually having a hard time believing it!!!! I pay 250 per panel. With your pricing I'll repaint my car a diff color every season! LOLS

I'd recommend a clear bra on that bumper [at least] once it cures properly after a week or so...

I'll be following this build - nice work thus far!

Bigfox

Nice prices you have over there...for us it's 5000 for crap paint and around 8000-9000 for a good quality paint...

Big - back to Cali cali.
I'm done with the east coast!

rl020509

- Thanks bro! Every time I walk pass the car now, it doesn't bother me anymore. Haha

- They did an excellent job. I walked out of there feeling like I got my money's worth.

- I'll try to find the recipt and post it haha. Like you said, come back to the westcoast love.

- Thanks for the follow. Are there different types of clear bras? My brother has one on his beamer, but it came from the factory like that. I want one that is above average (my budget). RECOMMENDATIONS ANYONE?

- Shops out here try to charge that much too, but that's way out there for me. I barely made my first 3 car notes!

rl020509

I know that you guys still find it hard to believe that I got everything for $800, but here's the receipt for it. It doesn't show the buffing and other job performed, it is all under Labor.



UPDATE 03/30/2014

I didn't post any interior pictures yet, but I have TAN interior. I was never a fan of the color, but I can make do for the car I wanted. The carpets are a little dirty right now, but I got these bad boys. I'm going to steam clean it before I install them. I also got the window visors off of there website. Surprisingly, there was no tax, just charged $33 for shipping.

I have those grey mats too, and they match the interior dash grey VERY well. So glad I went grey instead of hoping the tan would be a good match

Get the tan. Gray is so off the interior. I'll snap as pic of mines.
